When the final journey began, the flower-bedecked carriage slowly wending its away amidst thronging admirers and bystanders, a band of diehard fans again broke out into blissful TMS song – it might as well have been the standard that they were fluttering in the evening breeze for the whole world to see. ‘Ulagam Pirandhadhu Enakkaaga’, ‘Idho Endhan Deivam Munnale’, and a host of TMS hits mingled seamlessly in the air.
